Thank you for the kind reply; however, you seem to be addressing a
somewhat different situation.
I am not virtualizing servers or anything like that. For this use, I
do not need a bare iron hypervisor that then can run various
OS (supervisor) virtual machine images. I need a real Linux host (SL
7) that can run MS Windows under it as a guest. ...
Does anyone have a solution for using the host SL 7 802.11 (wireless,
wifi) ISP network connection to provide the NAT used by VirtualBox?
(At the university,
we are compelled to use Eduroam; at home, our ISP is Verizon -- both
over 802.11 .)
KVM/libvirt virtualizes Win7 guests just as well as it does servers. I
use it, but with wired and wireless connections, both 802.11b/g/n
(2.4GHz) and 802.11a (5GHz) wireless NICs. The Win7 guest doesn't care
and doesn't see the difference. There are a number of HOWTOs out there
showing how to get Win7 up as a guest, including with virtio disk,
network, and video. You will need the virtio driver CD; google for it,
it's easy to find. You need to do a bit of googling; all the
information you need is already out there in easily accessible form on
the KVM website.
